That is the exact same machine and exact model, except mine is pink. I'm going to have to try to find this manual!! Billy if you have this manual, I'd happily pay for copying and mailing it to me. I think JoannGC has earned her merit badge:>

I was able to get the service manual from the moderator of the Yahoo group for Viking pre-1980 vintage machines and found the owner's manual online. I think part of the fun is researching and conducting the scavenger hunts and I am very eager to get this one working. Good luck with yours and have fun with it!

I hope Billy can hook me up with the belt (falling apart) and maybe the link to the cleaning tute. I may have to also spring for some correct lubricant. But, this princess needs to be loved and used. My niece is quite the princess and has already laid claim to the machine. Of course she may spend 10 mins. with it and decide she'd rather watch High School Musical again:<

I love these old machines too!
This one is really pretty! I have never seen a pink machine!
have seen the green but not pink
I have way to many to sew on them all but isnt it fun to research them and get them going again
I go to auction and cant bear to leave one sit when they sell for almost nothing!

Ohhhhh that's sooooo PINK! I love it

Get it fixed up and use it so you can enjoy it. Even if you have to put it in another room to sew on it.

Candace congratulations on your score! I really love the pretty colors of the mid century. What a fitting machine for your "little princess" to learn on.
